A rollicking new novel — Fixing Mrs Philpott

Odd little Mrs Philpott has a couple of problems on the back burner. At 70 she is convinced that her life is over, she has a “relationship problem” with her husband Bill — and then the earthquakes start. On a shaky road trip around Canterbury, she receives a torrent of all-too-personal advice from an ever-expanding community of friends. Further disasters test her to the limit. In a final violent confrontation, she must either prove that she is well and truly fixed — or lose everything. A fast-moving story that is comical, intimate and wise.
